AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The existing heme iron production process is inefficient and requires multiple steps such as hemolysis and denaturation, which prolongs the processing time and increases the risk of microbial contamination.
Method used
Incorporating a high-speed centrifuge separation step before the addition of RO water to break down red blood cells completely, thereby eliminating the need for hemolysis and potentially denaturation, followed by enzyme treatment to break down protein strands and subsequent filtration and cooking steps.
Benefits of technology
This approach reduces processing time and minimizes microbial contamination by streamlining the process, ensuring efficient production of heme iron concentrate.

Abstract
A heme iron production process is disclosed. This process includes operations of separating red blood cells from whole blood via centrifuge, collecting the red blood cells, transferring the red blood cells into high speed centrifuges, centrifuging at a speed greater than 6000 rpm, combining effluent red blood cells with reverse osmosis water, increasing temperature and pH of the water, enzymatically digesting the effluent red blood cells into heme iron molecules and waste, and separating the waste from the heme iron molecules.
